Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM Tools Base for z/OS         *
    *                 Version 1 Release 6 (FMID: HAHN160) who use  *
    *                 IMS Tools Setup.                             *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: REXX exec HKTAPPL fails because ALIASes *
    *                      are missing.                            *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the maintenance for this APAR.         *
    ****************************************************************
    #B3AD2@ and #B3AD3@ member in CUSTJCL library, crated by IMS
    Tools Setup, instruct to run HKTAPPL exec with HLQ() parameter.
    However, ALIASes specified in the parameter are not yet defined
    at the time.
    

Problem conclusion

  • CUSTJCL members which define ALIASes; #B9ISPF, #D9ISPF, #F9ISPF,
    #R9ISPF, and, #T9ISPF have been consolidated to one member
    and renamed to #A1ALIAS so it is invoked before #B3AD2@ and
    #B3AD3@. (CUSTJCL members are invoked in the order of the member
    name)
